I don't have any pictures of my particular Arisaka, but below is a Wikipeda link which shows it and goes into detail.My friend did take a video of me shooing it for the first time since I was about 12, but he hasn't sent it to me yet.
Shooting it was an interesting experience, one which made me feel somehow closer to my old man than in the fifty-five years since he died, in 1962.
